her reform in dress to such an extent that
he thinks all women look perfectly hid

do. Her form is exactly like that of Pow

Mary Anderson, for whom she has often
been mistaken. She has the deep, sonOrous
voice of Mary Anderson, too, and this
and all her other good points she
attributes to her obedience to the
laws OF hygiene. In writing for promis-
cuous audience it is difficult to describe
infinitely the various innovations on estab-
lished female attire which Mrs. Miller has
made, and which she insists are necessary
to health. But let me frankly say she dis
cards that time-hOnOred garment which has
the French name, and also that she wears
the breaches. So do all women. really, only
theirs are trumpery little things not worth

respectable. gentlemanly affairs, but they
are very retiring. They do not descend

become synonymous for its wearer, so
thoroughly is it identified with woman.

How To DusI n Room,

The proper way to dust room, says a
writer in the New York Mail and Express,
is to begin with the walls. Pin several
thicknesses of cloth over broom and
sweep the walls down thoroughly, leaving
at the same time all the doors and win
dows open. This matter of sweeping the
walls is important. and should be done
once week in rooms that are much used
Then with damp cloth wipe off the pic
ture cords or wires, the backs of all the
picture frames, and the tops of the door
and window frames. If there is any dan
ger of injurlng pictures or frames with a
damp cloth use a dry one, but wipe them
all off carefully. AS often as you can get
a good draft which will carry the dust out
of the window, shake and beat the curtains,
whether they be Holland, lace. scrim or
what not, for they are prime sim
ners in the matter of harboring
dust. The window-sash, sill and glass
should also receive attention. Use a large
cloth. with half of it well dampened for
busting, the dry end being useful to wipe
off small articles that might be injured by
dampness-and be careful that you manipu-
late the cloth SO as to wipe the dust into it and
keep it there. If it gets dirty have clean
one, and always wash them out and scald
them after using. If there are inside shut
tiers to the windows they need to be cared for
almost as tenderly as baby. A thorough
cleaning every week, carefully wiping both
upper and under sides of the Stats. is the
only thing that will keep them in decent
order. A room is not thoroughly busted
until all the furniture and woodwork and
gas fixtures have been cleaned with the
damp buster. Upholstered furniture should
be taken out, brushed all over and then
wiped with the damp cloth. not forgetting
the under side.

the bit OF paper the justice held in his hand.
He read it quickly and turned it over. AS
he read this Endorsement on the back his

During the ten years of my residence
among the Hindoos." said a female mis-
sionary inst returned from India to the
child. receive a caress from it's mother.
Scarcely clothed. beaten and despised, it
knows hardly where to lay its head or get
its meals. If 1t is a girl the mother cannot
be fond of it, for it may be the means of
disgrace 70 her. If wife has no male
child her husband may divorce her. This
is changed somewhat when the child be-
comes old enough to be engaged. This is
6 years. The affair is settled without con-
Sulting the poor girl herself. And who do
you think finds the girl husband? The
barber. He knows the circumstances of
the family and rank in ife as he has to
visit the house every day to shave the male
members of the family before they can
pray. He travels sometimes weeks and
months through the country before he can
find young manageable man of the same
station in life as the girl. For in India
there is no intermarriage between castles.
Nov for an idea of Hindoo woman's
home life. She lives in small room al
most destitute. The floor and walls are of
clay. with no ornamentation of any sort
and the least furniture possible Every
morning she has to pray-not for herself,
as she is taught that she has no soul-but
for her husband, for rain and for general
blessings. Then she spends two or three
hours preparing the breakfast. She doesn't
eat with her husband, but perhaps fans
him at his request. During the daytime
she either sleeps, gossips with the other
women. or sometimes reader reads to them
from the lives of the gods. These stories
are unfit for human ears they are vile from
beginning to end. The children and women.
are taught them. At night they prepare
their husbands meal in the same manner
They are not protected against the weather
and dampness. nor are they properly fed
and clothed. The rich live the same as the
poor. If sick they are deemed cursed by the
gods, and are taken TO the stable and left
alone. The only food they can get is left
by stealth. Thousands die of neglect.
The first day that Hindoo boy abuses his
mother is festal occasion with his father,
who boasts of it to his friends TO be a
widow is the sum of unhappiness. She is
especially cursed by the gods. AS the
husband dies, half dozen BARRIERS wives
lush upon her, and tear the jewelry from
her ears and nose. Behind the funeral
cOrtege she follows, surrounded by these
tiends, who throw her into the water. II
she browns they say she was good wife
after all. She has gone to meet her hus-
band She is kept in darkened room for
fourteen days. At the end of this time her
husbands ashes are taken to the river, and,
after peculiar ceremony of prayers, the
soul is supposed to be free. 1t may enter

ment the soul can sustain is to enter the

THE PERFECT WOMAN,

Some Proverbs EmbOdying ALI She
Ought TO He.
Fannie B. Merrill in New York Graphic
In recent issue of one of the most de-
termined of sutfragist papers were printed
the following paragraphs, the heading being
most appropriately. 1.-The Perfect Woman"
Who can find virtuous woman? for her
price is far above riches.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust
in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
She will do him good and not evil all the
days of her life.
She seeketh wool and fax and worketh
willingly with her hands.
She is like the merchant ships; she bring
eth her food from afar.
She riseth while it is yet night. and giveth
meat to her household and a portion to her
maidens.
She considereth a field and buyeth it; with
the fruit Of her hands she planteth q vine
yard.
She glrdeth her loins with strength and
strengthening her arms.
She perceiveth that her merchandise is
good; her candle goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the spindle and her
hands hold the distaf
She stretcheth out her hands to the Door:
yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the
needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her house
hold; so all her household are dotted with
scarlet.
She makes herself coverings of tapestry;
her clothing is silk and purple.
Her husband is known at the gates, where
he stitch among the elders of the land.
She maketh fine linen and selleth it and de-
Hverth girdleS unto the merchant.
Strength and honor are her clothing; and
she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom and
in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She lOOkefh well tO the wAvS of hOuea-
hold and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband Also and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuouSly, but
thou exceleth them all.
Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain, but
woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be
praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands and let
her own works praise her in the gates.

hope has lifted up her head and bloomed
afresh in my heart. In other words, have
hopes for the suffragist. These simple ar
ticles OF faith, this silent suifragists creed,
as you might call it, speaks well of new
ideas and motives on behalf of the belev-
erS.
In the first place it is pleasing to note the
fact that there is u gentle truthfulness in
the word OF man; these old familiar words
are, as you remember, the words of man
who was something Of all epicure in
women;" the words of man who had de-
voted about forty years to the study of his
subject. They are the words of man who
knew women at their real value and could

Anew York Wonaam,s Work.

New YORK Mail and Express.
A lady we'll known in New York society
as the wife of prominent banker. and dis
tinguished likewise for her artistic talents,
has invented new kind OF work that is
likely to become popular with those whose
tastes lie in the same direction, and who are,
perhaps, tired of the conventional methods
of painting. She has imported from
abroad q quantity of the material employed
in the manufacture of tapestry. Upon this
canvas she paints design in exact imita-
ton of the style and color of old Gobeln.
The effect IS remarkably striking, and the
observer seems in regarding it, to gaze upon
an ancient and musty treasure from a
foreign palace. The work is done in
ordinary water cOlors, the tints
being, of course. especially selected
for the purpose. while the drawing can
be copied from any appropriate picture aud
enlarged to suit the fancy. The sketch
should first be made upon paper, then placed
over the canvas and the outlines pricked
through by means of a very sharp lead pen
Gil. This is necessary to insure absolute
accuracy in the drawing as it is impossible
to erase line once made upon the material.
A room paneled with tapestry of this sort
makes charming appearance. though it ne
cessitates considerable labor and expense.
A new way of ornamenting dinner-table
is to lay upon it mirror so large that only
wide enough margin is left for the plates

the shape of the table. On the edge is a
border of flowers, which must be of one

tulips of the same hue. On the plateau it

WHERE WOMEN FAIL.
Not a Success When They Take to
Financial pursuits.

Financial Pursuits.
While here and there a woman has sue
ceeded as a financier, it would seem that
stockbroking is one of the pursuits that
cannot as rule be properly carried on by
the gentler sex. The result of one woman's
attempt i'll this line, says the London
Queen, was recently shown in the bank
ruptcy court, where a widow applied for
her discharge, her debts amounting to
nearly "a. 600, while her assets were of I'M
certain value. The story, says the Queen,
is a sad one, to which we have no desire to
call attention save as an example to other
women not to plunge into vOcations of
which they know absolutely nothing. The
bankrupt, being possessed of capital of
"a, 900, commenced business as a stock
broker in London in July, 1884, having, in
addition to her own capital, received gS. 600
from friends, who. we should imagine,
were most probably women. The bust
ness. as any sane man acquainted with the
routine of a stockholders business would
have prognosticated, proved utterly unsuc-
cessful. In little more than year the
el2. 900 capital was lost The landlord
seized the office furniture for rent, and the
lady became dependent on her powers of
teaching for her livelihood. The loss of the
entire capital was attributed by the un-
fortunate lady to the misconduct of her late
manager, the bankrupt stating in the course
of her examination that she did not know
much about the business OF stockbroker
when she commenced, but that she hoped
to make it success. At the present time
she had no expectation of assistance from
her friends. The creditors opposed her
discharge, alleging that she had embarked
i'll business of which she knew absolutely
nothing, and that she had squandered her
property in reckless trading when she had
not the means of payment. These views
were. however, not held by the registrar
who said that tine lady had not brought

The Italian papers call attention to a
curious illustration of the change which has
taken place in the attitude of the more
eminent members of the Roman Papal
Curia towards the eminent members of the
National party. When Cardinal Jacobni,
who had served Leo XIII. so faithfully.
was seized with his last painful illness.
he was asked what physician he would
prefer. He replied. to the establishment
of his more irreconcilable colleagues.
"Dr. Guido Baccelli." DR.. Baccelli is not
only a leading Liberal, but he is at this mo-
ment the representative of the city of Rome
in the Italian parliament, and, what is
even more remarkable, he was short time
ago the Italian minister of education. The
disease from which the papal secretary of
state suffered was rheumatic govt in an
acute form. DR.. Baccelli has great med
ical repute in Italy, but his prescription for
the gout-if it be correctly responsibilities

cardinal was ordered. we are told. to eat
